I’m A Private In A Private Army

By ⋅ August 10, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

While I was at Tram­lines, some­thing happened which made me think long and hard about the role of secur­ity at an event. What are they really there for? I came up with a few the­or­ies. The first idea I mulled over was that they’re just there to be bas­tards to us all, and to make […]

Tribute Acts? We’ve Got It Covered

By ⋅ March 10, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Those of you who know me will be well aware that I don’t like to moan (actu­ally that’s not true – I love it) but I’d like to share with you a par­tic­u­lar gripe that’s been the thorn in my side since I first encountered the Birm­ing­ham music scene many a year ago, and discovered […]

Jacko-Wackos! Beat It!

By ⋅ March 3, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I’m sure you will have been fol­low­ing, as I have, the events fol­low­ing the death of pop’s greatest icon, Michael Jack­son and the sub­sequent trial of his car­di­olo­gist for mis­con­duct in allow­ing the singer to ingest a lethal amount of pain-killers as a sleep­ing aid. If con­victed of invol­un­tary man­slaughter Dr Con­rad Mur­ray could face […]

People, less of the media-ocrity please.

Have you ever been listen­ing to the radio in the car and had that feel­ing of sheer exultance when a song you love, but haven’t heard for ages, comes on? You grin like a per­form­ing chimp and after a quick check to make sure that no one in any of the adja­cent cars can see […]

Why I have Spotify (And you should too)

By ⋅ April 15, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

For the past ten to fif­teen years, the music industry has been involved in a battle. And it’s been los­ing. Bit­Tor­rent is the music industry’s Viet­nam. There are just too many people who have become accus­tomed to hav­ing the music they want, when they want, for the price they want (which is noth­ing). The music […]

We give you our sug­ges­tions, recom­mend­a­tions, and thoughts on what you should listen to and why. But in the past, we’ve gone as far as sug­gest­ing where to get your music from […]

eMusic

By ⋅ October 26, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

You may be sur­prised to hear that I haven’t down­loaded a single song illeg­ally for two months. But it’s true. I’ve dis­covered a web­site, eMusic.com, which feeds all of my music needs. It’s rel­at­ively expens­ive, yes, but it’s well designed, and it’s cheaper than iTunes or any other legal down­load ser­vice I’ve dis­covered. Also, one […]
